How to: Convert Generic Classes

You can convert a generic class to T.

Example

// clr_udc_generics.cpp
// compile with: /clr
generic<class T> 
public value struct V {
   T mem;
   static operator T(V v) {
      return v.mem;
   }
   
   void f(T t) {
      mem = t;
   }
};

int main() {
   V<int> v;
   v.f(42);
   int i = v;
   i += v;
   System::Console::WriteLine(i == (42 * 2) );
}
